Bosnia Herzegovina in fed cup 2016

Bosnia/Herzegovina came through a testing encounter with Denmark to win promotion at the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas Europe/Africa Zone Group II event in Cairo.

Austria also won to secure an immediate return to Zone Group I while Egypt defeated Finland to avoid relegation to Zone Group III.

In what was possibly the match of the week, Denmark's Emilie Francati put her team 1-0 up after a marathon encounter with Bosnia/Herzegovina's No. 2, Ema Burgic Bucko, at the Gezira Club.

Burgic Bucko began the sharper, taking three of the four break point chances she crafted to claim the opening set in 47 minutes. But the Dane recovered well, and eventually clawed her way back into the match after winning an epic second set - which last almost an hour and a half - on the tiebreak.

And Francati kept up the momentum to power through the third set, recording a 36 76(2) 61 win to hand Denmark the advantage.
